I love everything about Jamie Oliver March 6, 2008
This is my 3rd DVD of Jamie Oliver and I love them all. I'm waiting for any new DVDs of him! He is very entertaining and colorful. You won't be disappointed to watch him and even if you are not a good cook, like me, you get some pointers from his shows. If you are thinking about buying this DVD, think no more, and start pressing the button to buy! This is good if you missed some of the episodes. As for me, I've watched them all before, but I still love having my own DVD of Jamie's shows.
 Kitchen fun with all your mates December 21, 2006

If you liked Steve Irwin (RIP), you're gonna love cookin' with Jamie. He fills the kitchen with the same sort of exuberance, but more youthful. No question that he is a likable bloke with passion and talent, but to me, his TV shtick - "Hey, I'm gonna meet some of my mates down at the pub, and we're gonna to do some gourmet cooking while skateboarding" -- is a little phony.
Television cooking has had a few wooden characters whose skill and precision were more intimidating than inspiring. But that seems to me hardly the rule. It is not like Jamie is filling a huge need to show people how to loosen up and have some fun in the kitchen.
Jamie is subliminally appealing to the common conceit of youth that all that is needed for art (culinary art, or any other worthy accomplishment) is the chaos of youthful enthusiasm. I know that Jamie is a very successful chef and restauranteur. I do not believe for one moment that he has achieved that success without some adult seriousness.
Unfortunately, Jamie's insistence on his scooter-riding, fun-loving persona gets in the way of teaching much of anything about food. The show is fast-paced and chaotic, much more about Jamie's madcap style than about the food itself.
Because he does convey what I believe is a genuine passion, and perhaps genius, for cooking, and is likable and amusing, I give him more stars than I could ever justify if the criteria were closely tied to the DVD's value as a teaching/learning tool.
Totally Mesmerising! August 23, 2006

Day off, time on my hands, this DVD just arrived. Popped it into the Dell computer and was totally enchanted and entertained all day! By the end of the first episode I was just craving some good food! I don't know why I waited until now to start buying Jame Oliver's cookbooks and DVDs. I guess I saved the best for last. I now have virtually everything on amazon with Jamie's name on it. Really looking forward to his new Italian cookery book for sure. I always loved watching his shows on Food Network. It's even better in the comfort of your own home. I was astonished at all of the handy-dandy (or easy-peasy) cooking tips he gives on these episodes. Be sure and have a pencil and pad by your side as you watch each segment because you are going to want to jot these down for future cooking experiences. Fish, veggies, meat, herbs, cheeses, you name it, he's got it. So simple. All the food is affordable and easy to cook. Of course you'll notice some products we can't get here in the US but there are equally good substitutes available. So simple, so easy to follow, so very entertaining. Want to just give him a big hug! I just ordered the first DVD. Can't wait!
Perfect for cooks of any level September 20, 2005

I am a chef and was interested in this DVD because I believe that Jamie Oliver is not only talented but inspiring in a way. I don't usually buy cooking shows on DVD but decided to give this one a chance, and I'm thrilled that I did.
It's not just the recipes that Jamie takes us through that makes this DVD so valuable, but it's the WAY in which he approaches cooking. He's a proponent of buying local, organic food and cooking it in fresh, fast and interesting ways. Sure, he has a certain charm about him, but that charm, I believe, comes from his love of what he does (more than the way he looks). That love of food and cooking is infectious, and that is what gives this DVD power.
I think that this DVD would be a lovely gift for anyone who is interested in cooking. (I bought it as a gift for myself and have thanked me repeatedly!) This has certainly changed my mind about cooking DVDs and I'll now be purchasing the rest of the Jamie Oliver catalog as well!
